Joaquin Phoenix steps out to his car barefoot after taking a karate class in Beverly Hills
Joaquin Phoenix has been doing his best to stay in shape amid the coronavirus pandemic, even as gyms have been closed throughout California.
And true to form, the 45-year-old Oscar winner worked up a sweat Saturday with a karate class held in Beverly Hills.
He didn’t bother putting on his shoes as he headed out to his car to leave while covered in sweat.

Joaquin was dressed ultra casually in a rumpled long white T-shirt and rolled up black sweatpants.
He carried along a red sweatshirt over his arm and brought a glass jar with him.
The Joker star had his unruly salt and pepper hair swept back and sported a close-cropped gray-speckled beard.

Joaquin was out without his fiancée Rooney Mara, 35, whom he started dating in 2016 after they starred together in Mary Magdalene, which wasn’t released for two more years.
She previously played a supporting role as the ex-wife he still obsesses over in Her (2013), and they would be paired up again in the inspiring story of a cartoonist overcoming paralysis in Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot (2018).
On May 18, Page Six reported that the couple, who got engaged in July, were expecting their first child.
Rooney has taken to wearing oversize clothing in recent weeks, and the report suggested she could be as far as six months along.

The two have been quarantining together at their Hollywood Hills home and have yet to comment.
After starring in the billion-dollar grossing Batman-adjacent film Joker, Joaquin will try something warmer with the drama C’mon C’mon, in which he plays a man who has to care for his nephew while on a cross country trip.
The movie, which already wrapped principal photography, was directed by Mike Mills, who previously helmed the Oscar-winning Beginners (2010) and 20th Century Women (2016).
